...jury, interviewed after the trial, was white, middle class and often confused. The judge, Zita Weinshienk, a bright but engagingly modest lady of 36, was seen in her chambers researching puzzling points in Black's Law Dictionary. The prosecutor was a stodgy, humorless sort who spoke in impenetrable legal jargon and once, while examining his witness on the term "pig," inquired: "Officer, were there any animals of the porcine specie there?" The defense attorney was a dynamic 28-year-old who may have seemed too cocky and slick to the Colorado jurors...
...wasted on the old. Without it, youth is condemned to excess. That's what makes adolescents so saddening and maddening-and adolescence such a groovy movie subject. In Zita, an archetypical French fille named only Annie flits agonizingly between life and death. The daughter of a slain Spanish loyalist, she has sympathy for the world but affection for none of its inhab itants, except her ancient Aunt Zita (Katina Paxinou). One afternoon the girl comes home to find the old lady writhing on the floor. Zita has suffered a stroke, and each gasp edges her closer to the grave...

In the early years, his proud and persistent mother, Zita of Bourbon-Parma, tried every scheme to regain Habsburg honors for her son, even plotted unsuccessfully in the 1930s to marry him to Princess Maria of Italy in the hope that // Duce would present him with the Austrian throne. Of late, Otto has pledged loyalty to the republic. But after...
...women (besides Arizona's Lorna Lockwood) now sitting on state Supreme Courts-North Carolina's Justice Susie Sharp and Hawaii's Justice Rhoda V. Lewis. Indeed, the opportunity for choice enlarges each year. Denver, for example, recently acquired its first woman judge of any kind-Zita Weinshienk, 31, a lawyer's bright young wife who got her own law degree at Harvard in 1958. Already a municipal judge, seasoned in traffic cases, she was upped to county judge last week...
